- All dogs must have been inoculated against Parvovirus, Distemper, Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, and other relevant diseases. The course of vaccinations must have been completed at least 4 weeks prior to boarding, or in accordance with manufacturer instructions.
- Vaccination cards, either physical or email form need to be presented on every visit. This of course should show in date vaccines.
- Please note that Titre testing—veterinary certificates can only be accepted if dated within 12 months of boarding, and then only for canine distemper, infectious canine hepatitis, and canine parvovirus. Due to Titre testing not covering this, separate proof of vaccination against leptospirosis must be provided.
- Vaccination for kennel cough is strongly recommended; it is at the owner’s discretion and risk if not vaccinated.
- Kennel Cough is a live vaccine, we therefore are unable to accept any dog who has been vaccinated with this within 14 clear days of your pets stay. The full cost of your pets stay will be due if due if we are required to turn you away.
- Worming, Flea Treatment, and Microchip Details: In accordance with DEFRA guidelines, we will ask for details of your dog’s last worming and flea treatment. It is not a requirement for them to be up to date, but we do need the information. Additionally, please provide your dog’s microchip number, insurance details, and an emergency contact person (name, number, address, and email address).
- Medications and Health Issues: We are happy to administer medications to dogs, but we recommend discussing any health issues with your vet prior to boarding. Being in kennels can have an impact on certain medical conditions, such as diabetes, liver or kidney problems, and epilepsy, which may affect medication requirements.
- Acceptance of All Dog Breeds: We accept any breed of dog (including XL Bullies) for boarding and charge the same rate for all breeds. *A one-off administration fee applies to some breeds.
- Compatibility of Sharing Dogs: Dogs that are boarding together must get along. We reserve the right to separate them if they show aggression towards each other. In such cases, we may need to kennel them separately at an additional cost.
- Dog Health Requirements: We do not accept dogs that are ill (e.g., coughing) or have been boarded elsewhere in the past two weeks due to the risk of infection.
